A record registry lists the Basisi border fort near Mana Pass, India, at about 6,000 m as the highest inhabited buildings, reportedly staffed by Indo-Tibetan Border Police; an independent building-specific survey has not been located.

Current record value
The border post lies in the high Himalaya where low oxygen levels, cold weather and difficult logistics shape the demands of staffed shelters.
The registry gives approximately 6,000 m and a broad coordinate near Mana Pass but no surveyed elevation for each building, construction date or confirmation of continuing modern occupancy. Its year-0001 entry is an invalid placeholder, not an occupancy or opening date.
Credible sources support core facts; the comparison scope or corroboration remains incomplete.
Basis: direct confirmation by an authority
Guinness reports Basisi buildings near Mana Pass at about 6,000 m and staffed by Indo-Tibetan Border Police. Its 31°04′N, 79°24′E location is not demonstrated to identify a particular building, so no Place coordinates are entered. Year 0001 is invalid metadata. Independent surveys and 2026 occupancy have not been verified; developing is retained.
The claim is limited to recorded manned buildings, not any permanent structure; exact coordinates, occupancy continuity and surveyed elevation remain unverified.
Current Entry identifies the current entry in this archive; it does not establish that the record is still held today.
The record value on this page is organized from the public sources above. Measurement methods may differ; JiLuDB follows the unified method described for each entry.
